Ready to go beyond the screen and get your hands on the latest tech? Join the developer community in Cyprus for an afternoon dedicated to practical AI development and navigating tech career paths. While AI is transforming how we work, the real challenge lies in building applications that are truly useful, structured, and responsible. At this event, we are moving beyond the slides and simple prompts to focus on real-world engineering and leadership. What to Expect Software Engineers' Career Growth Panel: Get direct advice on career paths, interview strategies, and mentoring. We’re bringing together a panel of software engineers and leaders of varied experience, to answer your most pressing questions about growing in the Cyprus tech scene and beyond. Hands-on AI Workshop: Beyond the Prompt - Dive into the Agent Development Kit (ADK) with Yoyu Li, Google Developer Expert. Meaningful Networking: Connect with each other. From students to CTOs, to share ideas and find your next opportunity.

It's called: Amphitheatre LRC 012 Panel: Progression for Software Developers Meet the Panelists Eleni Kadi, Software Developer Andreas Andreou, Senior Software Developer Ioanna Filippou, Head of Engineering Workshop: Beyond the Prompt - Agent Development Kit (ADK) Workshop Speaker: Yoyu Li, Technology Director & Google Developer Expert (AI) LLMs offer endless possibilities, but turning them into functional applications requires solving unique challenges. We will build a simple game using Python and the Google ADK framework to learn: Designing agent-based architectures with responsible AI. Using input/output schemas for structured data. Managing game and session states. Controlling flow with custom orchestrator agents. Prerequisites: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): A laptop is required. A Google Account. Basic knowledge of Python or programming. Jupyter/Colab experience is a plus! Register now to secure your spot and help us break the pattern in tech! Agenda --- Hosted By Maria Stylianou, GDG Organiser I'm an engineering leader, passionate about building stuff, experimenting and failing fast. My expertise lies in up-skilling developers and scaling tech organizations. I advocate for increasing diversity in tech, and creating truly inclusive and fun environments. I consult tech organizations to increase their efficiency, with trainings, team facilitations and individual tech coaching. Hit me up for a challenge, advice or coffee! Andreas Lefkatis, GDG Organizer I am a Greek Cypriot Software Developer passionate about Web, DevOps and Mobile Application Engineering. My interests lie in how cloud based infrastructures and mobile devices could revolutionise ubiquitous computing and today's tech world.

Hi! If you would like to setup a Bible study but are timid to walk into a church building or be surrounded by a lot of people, we understand. To set up a one-on-one (or a small group if you and a friend or loved one want to talk together), please message us and we can setup a time. We are mainly available on Sunday nights and Tuesday nights, but we will work around your schedule. Your questions and curiosities matter :) You can also dm me on Instagram (@lydiashill) to setup a time and place. We live in Acropolis area but are willing to travel to meetup with you at a coffee shop closer to you. Just let us know!

**New Dojo Location!** **Draft Day Columbus** 1130 Dublin Road Columbus, OH 43215 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.

The Unix philosophy emphasizes simplicity, modularity, and the idea that programs should do one thing well and work together. However, CLI programs are primarily used by humans. Programs that you actually enjoy using can achieve both of these aims of composability and human-centeredness. This talk explores what makes CLIs great: fast, trusted, and delightful. Through real-world examples from modern tools like uv, cargo, ripgrep, and GitHub CLI, you'll learn the design patterns that separate good CLIs from great ones. Whether you're building package managers, creating developer tools, or just curious why modern CLIs feel so much better, you'll leave with a practical checklist of techniques to apply to any CLI tool you build. **Agenda:** 7:00pm - Opening announcements 7:10pm - Opening Topic - Build an AI-powered, Sassy Speaking Plant 7:25pm - Main Topic - Designing Delightful CLIs with Python 7:50pm - Q&A
